Chapter 837 Acting for the Duke but sitting inside

After Wang Queer traveled north for a day, Shao Xun was still in Yinguan City.
He flipped through the military reports sent from other places without paying much attention.
Suotou fought several battles with Chen Yougen south of the Sanggan River. Only Duanbu Xianbei achieved a very limited victory, and the remaining three battles were fought in the north.
The generals and generals were afraid and did not want to fight anymore.
Fortunately, Tuoba Hexi didn't seem to want to fight. Taking advantage of the great victory, he began to withdraw in an orderly manner. The large group of troops went up the Sanggan River to prepare for reinforcements in the direction of Pingcheng.
Chen Yougen forced all the generals to suppress him, and the generals followed him and pursued him, clinging to him. No news has been received yet.
Ding Ling Zhai Shu contributed a not-so-funny joke: He first marched westward on Chen Yougen's order, but took his time and returned immediately after hearing the news of Chen Yougen's defeat halfway.
He was doing switchbacks throughout the whole process, showing off his cunning to the fullest.
In the direction of Jingzhou, Wang Dun marched northward to attack Yiyang, but failed. He attacked Xinye again and killed the prefect Yu Fang.
The Xiongnu west of Tongguan seemed to be making some changes, and they were trying to gather their troops to march eastward.
At the end of last year, they killed Chen An, who surrendered and then rebelled. Now, except for running Bei Yishan and Shuofang, they have no major affairs in the country. The only "fun" left is to create trouble for Shao Xun.
In the direction of Xuzhou, Zu Ti recruited soldiers and horses and drilled them endlessly. The possibility of heading north again was not small.
Shao Xun did not give any special instructions for most of these messages. Only the direction of Tongguan allowed him to pay more attention.
The last piece of news is about the current war situation.
Helan Aitou finally got the news that the Jin army was marching northward. He had already gathered his troops and started to march eastward.
Apart from anything else, this old boy's skill at taking advantage of others was first-rate. He actually wanted to take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Jin army was marching north to attract He Li's attention. He would fight and pull the confused tribe to his side. After all, now Qi
The situation between the mother and her son was quite bad. After Shengle sent troops to attack them, they were able to make a forced landing in battle and expand their power.
Everyone wants to tear off a piece of flesh from Qi’s mother and son.
On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, Shao Xun ordered Dong Wu to lead 3,000 blind troops north to Yinguan City. He himself led the Yinqian right camp, pro-army, Yi Congjun, Luonan Prefecture troops and some Huangtou troops totaling 30,000.
He rode northward on foot, crossed the water, and settled not far from the north bank, where he began to recruit.
To put it simply, Wang Queer came to fight a military war, while he came to fight a political war.
On June 12, after waiting and watching for a long time, the general of Mayi sent an envoy to negotiate for surrender.
He himself is a bastard, he doesn't have many strong men, but he has a lot of old, weak, women and children.
After sending troops in the direction of Shengle and seeing the large group of cavalry led by Yin Xi roaring past the city, he finally made up his mind to surrender - if he didn't surrender, he might be attacked by Helan Aitou and the Jin army from the north and south. He could not continue to ride on the wall.
If you go down, you have to choose a side to join.
On June 13, in the village on the north bank of the water, many people came to pay their respects, but what Shao Xun was most interested in was a group of powerful Jin people.
"Seeing the great scroll of King Liang, I doubt it was in my dream."
"Although Liu Kun ceded Xingbei, in fact Xianbei had already taken it for himself."
"We have been under Wuhuan's harsh government, and Xianbei has ravaged us again. We have suffered terribly. We have been waiting for Master Wang for a long time."
"Although I have bent my body to serve the barbarians, I have not changed my voice. I look south to Luoyang all day long."
“I have been suffering and being miserable for a long time!”
Shao Xun sat on the bed, looking at the group of wealthy people kneeling down in front of him without saying a word, and was speechless for a long time.
Who the hell are these people!
There was a strong man named Xuhe who said that he was a native of Yin Hall and had helped Tuoba Yilu fight against the Huns. He was extremely loyal.
"Who are you, Liu Kun, who is engaged in Xuxiaozong (Xuxian)?" Shao Xun asked.
"Well, the clans are sparse." Xuhe said, "Although Shangdang is the head of the county of Xuxiaozong, the ancestral grave of the Xu family is still in the Yin Pavilion."
There are two criteria for judging the location of a person's county seat. One is the family tree, and the other is the location of the ancestral grave.
Xu Xian's ancestor moved to Shangdang early, where he had the founding ancestor. The Xu family was included in the surname of Shangdang County, and the family was obviously separated. Of course, the Xu family of Shangdang seems to have been almost gone.
There was also a strong man named Zhang Tong who came from Mayi and handed over a genealogy, saying that he was the one who was cruelly exploited by Wuhuan and Xianbei successively.
Shao Xun flipped through the brand-new family tree, somewhat speechless. Can he get away with cheating?
"The genealogy says that your ancestor is the elder brother of Zhang Liao in the late Han Dynasty, but you just said that he is the elder brother of Zhang Yang. Which one is he?" Shao Xun asked.
Zhang Tong's face froze, he didn't read it carefully before going out, he forgot it!
"Your Majesty, Zhang Tong's ancestor was Wuhuan, and his genealogy was newly compiled a few days ago." A rich man named Tian Zhi of the Tian family directly exposed Zhang Tong's background.
When Zhang Tong heard this, his face turned red and he said, "My family has been farming and herding in Mayi for generations. How can you accuse someone of his innocence out of thin air?"
After saying that, he turned to Shao Xun and paid homage: "Your Majesty, Tian Zhishi is a descendant of the Budugen tribe of Xianbei. He was once a member of the Tian family, but later assumed the name as a Zhongxia tribe."
Tian Zhi was so angry that he yelled: "My family is a descendant of the Tian family of Qi State. What does it have to do with Xianbei?"
Zhang Tong was about to ridicule, but he saw Shao Xun's face darkened and stopped.
Shao Xun returned the brand new genealogy to Zhang Tong and said: "The genealogy is true."
When the powerful men and women saw them, they almost fainted. Is this okay?
Wang suppressed her smile, and when Shao Xun glanced over at her, she immediately stopped smiling and turned away. Apparently she was dissatisfied with pinching her jaw before and still remembers it.
Shao Xun looked at Tian Zhi again and asked, "Does your family have a genealogy?"
Tian Zhi was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes... yes."
"You'd better have it." Shao Xun nodded.
Badger Lang, Nian Liu, and Hu Tou stood behind Shao Xun, amazed by their father's handling.
Sometimes, what does it matter if it is true or false?
These Hu people were already on the land. They built manors and forts, and recruited Huhan villagers to farm and herd livestock. Although the main family members were not talented in literature, they were still literate. If they were willing to attach themselves to famous people, then so be it.
As time goes by, the fake becomes real.
"Since we are a famous clan in Zhongxia, we must not rebel and do evil in the future." Shao Xun continued: "You may live in Mayi, farm in Yin Pavilion, or have a homestead in the old county of Loufan. When you go back, you can help me organize the army.
, Guard the borders carefully. If any Xianbei officials come to ask for food, grass, young men, and horses, just tie them up and send them to the officials."
"As ordered." Upon hearing this, everyone fell to the ground and said in unison.
"If there are children in the clan who are skilled in bow and horse, you can choose to send one or two, and I will recruit them into the army at my discretion. Send a batch of grain, grass, cattle and sheep here to strengthen my military supplies."
"As commanded."
After giving these instructions, Shao Xun gave him two pieces of brocade and sent him home.
Next came the leaders of various tribes, mainly Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, and a small number of Xiongnu people, and there were also some miscellaneous people named Wuhuan or Xianbei.
If those half-truths and half-false rich people are still hesitant, then these tribes really came to defect to Kedun and Shiyiqian.
To a certain extent, the Wang family's appeal may not be any worse than that of her son Shi Yijian. After all, she is an authentic descendant of the Wuhuan nobles. Combining the two together, there is no doubt for these ministers, and they can directly
Just run away.
When facing the nobles of the tribe at this moment, Wang was not as comfortable as she had been a while ago. She seemed a little timid and occasionally wandered her eyes. She always glanced at Shao Xun quietly and saw that he had no objection before she dared to speak.
"In the past, there was great chaos in the country, with old and new suspicions, and each other was killed one after another." Wang said: "Since then, the tribes have been separated, and the power of Tuoba has declined. Now we have begged the Jin army to come to help us, and we can conquer the regicides and those who are rebellious."
Watch from the sidelines."
"Yes." After hearing this, all the ministers responded in unison.
"Now there are more than 60,000 people who have surrendered from far and near. We can send out 20,000 victorious troops. We should gather them as soon as possible." Wang said again: "I have little talent and little knowledge, and I still need the help of you adults. After the restoration of the country, I will definitely give you a good reward."
.”
Shao Xun listened silently.
There is nothing transcendent in these words. He made the cause and effect clear and placed himself in a low-profile position.
Don't give me a hard time, that's fine.
Seeing that there was no movement from Shao Xun, Mrs. Wang felt reassured and continued: "The Liang Wang of the Great Jin Dynasty marched northward. Wherever they passed, people with treacherous intentions restrained their hands, and people with wolf-hearted and dog-like hearts fled far away. Shi Yiqian——"
Tuoba Shiyiqian was quietly looking at Hutou and others. When he heard his mother calling him, he immediately came back to his senses and sat upright.
Mrs. Wang took his hand and came to Shao Xun and said: "If there were no King Liang, nothing would happen today. From now on, we should treat King Liang as a father."
Although Shi Yiqian was young, he also knew what "father" meant, and was a little reluctant subconsciously, but after coming into contact with his mother's stern gaze, he finally compromised and prostrated himself to the ground.
The ministers didn't think there was anything wrong with it. They were doing it as a father's courtesy and they didn't really treat him as his son, although this matter was indeed a bit disgraceful.
But to be honest, without King Liang, they would not have made up their mind to defect to him, and Shi Yijian would not suddenly have tens of thousands of people supporting him.
Furthermore, at the age of King Liang, it is not too much to be his second-father or something like that, it can even be said to be very suitable.
People under the eaves have to bow their heads and become emperors. What will happen to Chanyu? If you are not angry, you can just find your place again when you become stronger.
Shao Xun coughed, took a jade pendant from his waist, and stuffed it into Shi Yiqian's hand as a greeting gift.
Then he looked at everyone and said: "If you have any relatives or friends, you can also call them to surrender. Those who surrender early will be innocent of merit, those who surrender late will only be exempted, and those who do not surrender will be slaughtered. You should inform the tribes
, let them not make mistakes."
The ministers glanced at Wang first and saw that she was silent, so they all saluted Shao Xun: "As ordered."
Shao Xun carefully looked at everyone's expressions and knew that they had different thoughts at the moment, and some might even regret surrendering.
But it doesn't matter. In the face of the general trend, any small thoughts are useless and only add to the laughter.
The existence of the Wang family and their son accelerated the disintegration of the Qi family's ruling foundation in the Yanmen, Mayi, and Xinping areas, making the Northern Expedition easier and smoother.
And he could legitimately intervene in Tuoba Xianbei's internal affairs.
Shi Yiqian is still young, so he has to sit inwardly in everything, and his father will handle external matters for him.
